HC Deb 21 May 1930 vol 239 c416W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what sums have been allocated for research work upon auto-gyro machines during the present year?

Mr. MONTAGUE

Research work on this type of aircraft was provided for and is being pursued, but it is, not possible to state the precise allocation for this purpose; the provision for it is merged to a great extent in the estimate for general research, from which it cannot be segregated. The amount of expenditure must depend, of course, on the progress made.
